Sew-along Week 2: Lay Out a Pattern

Now that you know how to read a pattern, you’ll learn how to lay out the pattern pieces on your fashion fabric. This is an important step as most pattern pieces require specific arrangements on the fabric. For example, in this video you’ll see a skirt pattern piece that needs to be cut on the fold. This requires the fashion fabric to be folded and pattern piece placed on the edge.

You’ll want to be sure to pay close attention to the pattern instructions to get the results you want.
